“I’ll decide my future after World Cup”: Sardar Azmoun

Tasnim – TEHRAN, Iranian national football team’s striker Sardar Azmoun says that he will make a decision about his future after the 2018 World Cup.

Team Melli striker currently plays at Rubin Kazan, despite being linked with European giants Liverpool, Arsenal and Lazio.

“I want to play in the big leagues and I will make the best decision after the 2018 World Cup. I need to play the first team because I believe that dropping out of starting lineup for a month can harm each player’s form,” Azmoun told IRNA.

The 23-year-old striker will make his debut for Iran national football team at the 2018 World Cup.

“All teams coming to the World Cup are very well-equipped and we have to be ready as well. I like to score in the World Cup since I think it is the best tournament in the world,” Azmoun added.

Azmoun also said he is interested in playing at Real Madrid one day since he has been the team’s fan since childhood.
